Grannies already on eBay!!@#$*&%, by ร
gentรacardi on Oct 26, 2006 20:28:21 GMT 1, Listing#: 250043210665
The f**king print probably hasn't even been printed, it hasn't even been 12 hours, and this c*cksucker already has it on eBay. And here on this board, we have plenty of genuine fans who want it on our walls instead of in our pockets. I HOPE THIS m**therf**ker GETS EBOLA, RAPED BY A DONKEY, HIT BY A BUS AND DIES!!!!! 
*sob*
P.O.W. should track this idiot down and withdraw their sale. Seriously.

Grannies already on eBay!!@#$*&%, by lesroy on Oct 26, 2006 21:23:08 GMT 1, I completely agree...
However, I only have a few Banksy's (4) and several other Artist's (DFace (1), Eelus (2), Cauty (1), Michallef (3), Nick Walker (1), Jamie Hewlett (1), insect (1) and I have to admit that I bought about half from eBay at vastly inflated prices...
...but without eBay I would'nt have had any Banksy's till this Granny print.
POW are god sends and I wish I could buy all my stuff from them but as soon as summat sells out there is only one place to look.... that's why I think we should do more swaps on this forum that way we all get the prints we want and the scalpers don't prosper!

gentรacardi on Oct 26, 2006 21:30:55 GMT 1, We should definitely make more trades on this board and let the scalpers rot on eBay. I agree with Lesroy - have been scalped willingly one time, but that's about all I can afford 
I wish there were a way that POW can track these people and withdraw their sale, especially to this guy. Then if he has a buyer, he'll be screwed, and we can all be amused ;D

Grannies already on eBay!!@#$*&%, by Curley on Oct 27, 2006 13:41:54 GMT 1, There's three up there now!!!
I agree that selling them now before they are even mailed out is out of order and POW should try and stop it
but aside from one print each there's not much they can do.
I think its really hit a raw nerve with the people who missed out yesterday and i sympathise.
However we live in a market economy and people should be free to do what they want and no one is forcing anyone to buy them off e bay.
Without it i would not have my Jack & Jill or any of the older prints.

If i wanted the print i would be emailing the seller for the edition number before any cash was handed over. Knowing an edition number is an easy way to stop these Scalpers.
Get me drift........Think about it.

I doubt the people who purchased just happened to drop on them whilst having a mid morning surf - Banksy hunting is a serious business, maybe you are upset because they got theire first - no prizes for 501st place.

I doubt the people who purchased just happened to drop on them whilst having a mid morning surf - Banksy hunting is a serious business, maybe you are upset because they got theire first - no prizes for 501st place.
Suppose your favorite rock band is giving a one-night-only concert, and you want to buy a ticket. I get there before you, and buy a whole bunch of tickets for ยฃ50 each. I don't give a damn about this band, I don't even know the band's songs, all I know is that they're in high demand, and people like you want a ticket really badly. Tickets are sold out, and I try to sell it to you for ยฃ500 (and assume that you're not exactly Mr. Danny DeepPockets).
Now, would you be upset because people like me are standing in the way and blatantly taking advantage of true fans like you, or would you be upset simply because I got there before you?
And even if you're upset because you got there too late, which would make you more upset, if I was also a huge fan, or if I was solely out to get money off fans like you?
I don't mean any offense nor any hostility, and I'm certainly *not* trying to start an argument with you... just wanted to paint you a scenario so that you could empathize with those of us that feel the way we do. (Welcome to the boards, by the way ;D)

i'm finding it harder & harder to listen to people having a problem with people selling stuff on ebay etc
most people here have done & are doing so right now.
i probably have the same story as many others; buy some to put up & some to sell to fuel the addiction.
POW seem to be on it now so round of APPLAUSE for them all!!

Grannies already on eBay!!@#$*&%, by wanksy on Oct 28, 2006 8:24:38 GMT 1, Ebay is part of the Banksy story. It is ebay that has fuelled the secondary market and made early 50 quid prints worth thousands. Without ebay "true" fans would have NO CHANCE of buying prints they really want.
I have my home page set to POW and sit there refreshing whilst I am on the phone at work, I almost had a coronary when the grannies came up, I fell down the stairs running to get my credit card but was rewarded with a grannies print. I think that most people who got the prints yesterday have more than a passing interest in Banksy. The few that are selling for a quick profit are all part of what is going on as are the faceless bank mangers, lawyers and accountants.
To try and control the market is slightly missing the point.

cgi.ebay.co.uk/Banksy-Grannies-limited-edition_W0QQitemZ110049082145QQihZ001QQcategoryZ360QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Are POW mad or something? they must be....
Without POW these tossers wouldn't be able to take the piss. Respect them before they take the piss out of us. You will all be moaning then !!!!!!!
The piss takers will then have to get off their fat arse's and go back to their ticket toating and selling fake DVD's.
These people all seem to be having a good old CHOMP at the hands that feed them........ I went to school and was taught the outcome.Looks like these people didn't listen or bunked off.

Grannies already on eBay!!@#$*&%, by lesroy on Oct 28, 2006 10:13:54 GMT 1, Lets just face it... things will always be sold on eBay, and sought after art work is no different. As I have said before, I hate paying over the odds prices from eBay but if I want the print (or any otem for that matter) enough then I am thank ful for being able to get it.
Of course I'd prefer to buy everything from POW... from knowing it's genuine, being registered to my name, coming absolutley mint and getting a great smiley service from POW..... NOT TO MENTION THE PRICE!
I have just bought a "Love is in the Air" for ยฃ920... a snip in todays market but horrendous for a ยฃ40 POW print. But... atleast I own it and its one I always wanted and for that im glad I have eBay.
What I don't like is what you guys have pointed out.... selling a print that you have not already recieved just to bag the cash. I hope POW get hold of the numbers and then barr that person buying the next 5.
